Yes, This Amazing Star Trek Delta Coin is Real Currency in Canada

On paper the Canadian dollar is struggling to keep up with US currency and doesn’t seem like a wise investment. But when you discover that the Canadian Mint now makes an entire line of Star Trek-themed collectible currency, including this delta-shaped gold coin, how could you possibly resist buying them all up?

Made from 99.99 per cent pure gold, this coin, shaped like the Starfleet insignia worn by everyone serving about the USS Enterprise, has a face value of $200, but it will actually cost $1,300 — in Canadian funds. It’s legal tender, though, which means it can be spent anywhere (in Canada) you like, but only as $200 in currency. (Unfortunately for people in the UK, the coins don't ship beyond Canada.)
